There are five levels of technology maturity:
- Level 1: Non-existent or just starting out: With no formal processes or strategies.
- Level 2: Reactive stage: Where businesses are aware of technology's importance but lack strategic use.
- Level 3: More defined and repeatable processes: With basic tech planning and budgeting.
- Level 4: Managed or proactive stage: With mature processes consistently followed.
- Level 5: Optimised and innovative stage: With a culture of continuous improvement and data-driven decision making.
